Reuters reports Apple has told manufacturers it will cut orders of the iPhone 5C for the final three months of the year. Investors reacted positively to this news as it seems to indicated consumers are buying the higher-priced iPhone 5S in greater numbers than expected. Canaccord Genuity analysts said the iPhone 5S is outselling 5C by 2.5 times to 1, boosting Apple's margins. Reuters source said Pegatron had their order for the 5C cut by 20% and a WSJ source said FoxConn had their order cut by a third. Analysts point out that the complexity of the supply chain means a cut in manufacturing may or may not correlate with lower sales.

Researchers from the University of Buffalo, New York have tested an "underwater wi-fi" network in a lake in an attempt to make a "deep-sea internet". The team says the technology could help detect tsunamis and create reliable warning systems. Unlike normal wi-fi, which uses radio waves, the submerged network technology utilises sound waves. Sound waves provide a better option than radio waves, just ask dolphins. the challenge now with Wireless communication underwater is getting separate systems used by different organisations to communicate with each other.

Akamai's state of the Internet report is out. Among the findings, Indonesia bumped out China as the source of the most malicious traffic with 38% to 33%. The US is third with a measly 6.9%. Global average peak connection speed reached 18.9 Mbps. The fastest place on Earth is Hong Kong with an average 65.1 Mbps connection speed. Most interesting to some is that for the first time since 2008 Port 445, the Microsoft-DS file-sharing port, is no longer the favorite for attackers. HTTP Port 80 and SSL port 443 take that honor. Attacking via the Web is now more popular than Windows. We have truly moved into the cloud.

I am a proud Pebble watch owner. I agree, watches are a place to be notified about what my phone is trying to tell me without always needing to take my phone out. Google Now would be great if you live in the Google ecosystem (Gmail, Google Calendar...).

[My other comment is about the customer service reps I encountered in an MMO game]

An in-game GM from WOW carried a 5 Minute conversation with me about in-game stuff not related to my query.

Plus he emoted silly things during our conversation, like " swoops in to rescue from harm"... Customer Service is everything on a subscription service.
